Cuckoo {Adam Lambert} ✔️

Chapter 31

{Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I had finals the past week and I'm so happy I'm done with that BS for a while. This is a longerish chapter so enjoy! PS- Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah or whatever you celebrate my fellow people! }

I turned over and stared at the clock once again.

2:47 AM.

I laid on my back and tried desperately to make my mind stop bit it wouldn't work. It kept replaying my past, varying from today to fourth grade. I let out a long sigh and decide to walk around a little bit. Maybe I'll be able to tire myself out.

My feet hit the hard wood ad I walk over to my bedroom door. I opens with a squeak and I continue into the kitchen. I'm about to open the fridge when I stop. Would it be snooping if I looked for food? He actually never mentioned food since we went out to eat.

I shrug and open the door. The light blinds me but my eyes eventually adjust. I look through the shelves and all I see is healthy stuff. I guess that's one downside with Adam... He always eats healthy stuff. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but I have never seen him eat something unhealthy. Odd.

I close the door and see some apples on the counter. I pick one up and it ends up being wax. Really Adam... You almost made me eat wax.

I give up on the food idea and decide to talk a stroll around the backyard. I walk outside and the air is warm and welcoming. I walk around the grotto and near the edge of Adam's property. I watch all of the lights in the city and start to clear my mind.

I feel two arms wrap around my waist from behind. His scent, which he always has somehow, engulfs me.

"Hey Adam," I lace my hands with his and lean back a little.

"Hey Skyler. Can't sleep?"

"No, my mind Won't stop reeling with stupid stuff."

"I know that feeling. I wrote Nirvana because of that feeling. It was meant to be a lullaby for Sauli because he could never sleep either."

"I had a playlist on my iPod of all of your calm and slow songs so if I could sleep I would listen to them. It actually helped quite a bit." I turn to look back at him and our eyes meet. There is a calm silence until Adam breaks it.

"Let's go back inside before we get eaten alive by mosquitos."

"Sounds like a good idea to me." Adam picks me up and sets me back down facing towards the house. Without letting go of our grips, we waddle back inside, laughing on the way.

"Hey... Do you want to uh..." Adams words grew into an mumble.

"What?"

"Uh... If you can't sleep you can uh... How do I say this without it sounding weird?"

I laugh because I understand what he is getting at. "Yes Adam. If I can't sleep I'll sleep with you."

A look of relief covered his expression of awkwardness. I gave him another hug and said goodnight.

4:32 AM and what am I doing? Trying to sleep. I can't take this anymore.

I gave in and walked up the stairs to Adam's room. The old stairs and floors creaked as I walked along. I reached his room and the door was open, as if welcoming me. I cautiously looked in and I saw him sitting on the edge of his bed, watching the sky change during the night.

I crawled onto his bed and hugged him from behind. I snaked my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"Hey," I whisper while laying my
head on his shoulder.

"I had a feeling you would be up here eventually." He looks back at me and gives me a small smile.

"Well, I guess you haven't slept much this evening."

"Not much but I'm used to it. Now you on the other hand seem to sleep a lot," He says with a smirk.

"Oh and what does that mean mister 'I can survive with 4 hours of sleep'?"

"I just figured you would have passed out already," yawns and stretches his arms out. "I'm gonna get some sleep." He lays back leaving me under him.

"Uh... Adam? Your a little heavy..."

"Ahh... Never knew my bed was so comfy!" He says, knowing that I'm stuck underneath him.

"Adam!"

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't know you were there!" A devilish smile grows on his face as he rolls over so I can see his face. He holds himself over me so I can't get away.

"Your hair is a mess," I say while watching strands fall down from gravity.

"Yeah my hair isn't perfect all of the time. Ya know, I heard about this myth that gingers are more ticklish than others. I was wondering if it was valid with you?" He questions while glancing at my red hair.

My expression immediately turned into a glare," Lambert... Don't you..." Before I could finish he sat on me and went for my sides.

"No stop!! Adam!" I laughed as I tried to push him away. Nothing worked so I decided to tickle him back. I started to poke at his sides and underarms and he could barely contain his laughter.

"You made one mistake which is your a ginger too!" I kept poking him until he stopped tickling me.

"Are you done?" He asks and I nod, too breathless to say anything. The room grew quiet and got off of me. He laid down beside me and we just stared at each other for a while. It might sound weird but it didn't feel like it.

There was barely enough light to be able to make out a few facial featured like his nose and eyes.

His eyes. They always have a different shine when I'm around him am I'm starting to notice that. His expression seems brighter than if he was at some interview. Also, according to Alexis, when I'm with him and he smiles, it's a true smile. It's not fake. He smiles with his eyes as well as his mouth and that means something. He's not faking his happiness while he's around me. Those blue eyes give a lot of details.

"Good morning Skyler," he says while breaking the silence. He grasped the blanket and pulled it up to us.

"Good morning Adam." With out even realizing it I was kissing his hand that pulled the blanket up. Why? I don't really know but Adam used it as a chance to kiss my forehead.

It's gonna be difficult to sleep alone again...
